			Catlin made a sketch quickly and finished the painting later. Popular thought at the time was that a rough, quickly drawn sketch better captured first impressions. The most finished part of his work was the head and face. His color palette was limited with many earth tones. To brighten his pictures, he used white or yellow to bring out highlights. (1)

	Catlin's famous ''Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians'', published in 1841, led to his recommending a trip by steamer from St. Louis to the Falls of St. Anthony with stops along the way at Rock Island, Galena, Dubuque, and Prairie du Chien.
